Bruichladdich Delves Into Single Grain Rye

Islay-based Bruichladdich Distillery has released Islay Single Grain Scotch Whisky – the third entry in their series called The Regeneration Project.

Bruichladdich The Regeneration Project Islay Single Grain Scotch Whisky is made primarily from locally grown Islay rye [in an attempt to combat the growing cost of agro-chemicals and avoid monoculture and which has never been grown commercially in Islay].

Bruichladdich The Regeneration Project Islay Single Grain Scotch Whisky is made up of 55% Islay grown rye and 45% locally grown Islay malted barley, was matured in both first-fill bourbon casks and first-fill American virgin oak casks, bottled at 50% alcohol by volume [100 proof] and is said to offer notes of black pepper, cinnamon, citrus, honey, licorice and nutmeg.

Only 1,800 bottles of Bruichladdich The Regeneration Project Single Grain Scotch Whisky is being made available for $155 per bottle at the official Bruichladdich site [www.bruichladdich.com].
